Pakistan stocks rise, rupee weakens, o/n rates fall

KARACHI, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Pakistani stocks rose on Friday,
but the market remained dull as investors waited for a monetary
policy announcement.

expected payouts and activity in cement stocks as traders
anticipated a cut in interest rates from the state bank of
Pakistan, said dealer Nausheen Kiran at Al-Hoqain Securities.
